This article is about an older version of DF.

An announcement is a message displayed at the bottom of the game screen used to indicate something important. Some announcements will pause gameplay and center the camera on the event in question. Examples of this are births, Template:Ls, Template:L and Template:Ls arriving, Template:Ls, a Template:L finding new Template:L or Template:L or Template:L stone, and Template:Ls arriving.

The Announcements page can be accessed with the a key. Page Up and Page Down scroll through the previous announcements.

More examples of announcements include job cancellations, the creation of Template:Ls, Template:L and Template:L Template:L being Template:L (including being Template:Led), dwarves gaining Template:Ls, dwarves becoming Template:Ls, Template:Ls changing the price of items, tame animals becoming adults and giving birth, weather events, seasons changing, Template:Ls, enemy ambushers becoming revealed (Template:L or Template:Les), and work orders being completed.

The orders menu allows you to filter out certain job cancellation messages. x cycles through the four options for cancellation announcements:

  • None
  • Some
  • Most
  • All

The default setting is "Some".
